Pegasus Airlines will resume service from Istanbul Sabiha Göçen Airport (SAW) to Aleppo International Airport (ALP) from June 2, 2026, operating three times weekly on Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Flights PC770 operate on Tuesdays (departing 15:00), Thursdays (departing 06:50), and Saturdays (departing 13:55), with return PC771 services on matching days.

Concurrently, Pegasus resumes Istanbul–Damascus service from June 3 with four weekly frequencies—together, the two Syrian services represent a significant return for the Turkish LCC to a market it previously served before Syria's civil conflict made operations impractical. CAPA – Centre for Aviation confirmed both resumptions in a May 25, 2026 news brief titled "Pegasus Airlines to resume two Syria services from summer 2026." Aviation news outlet aerohaber_aeronews reported the same details on Instagram.

AeroRoutes published the full schedule data on May 20, 2026 (08:00 PDT / 15:00 GMT).

Aleppo International Airport has been rehabilitated and is handling international commercial flights again as Syria's aviation sector rebuilds following the political transition in late 2024. Several regional carriers have announced or restored Syrian services in the 2025–2026 period.

Pegasus is Turkey's largest low-cost carrier, operating scheduled flights to more than 100 destinations across 40+ countries. The airline is headquartered at Istanbul Sabiha Göçen, which serves as its primary hub.
